Benchmark compares GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 4.8, Grok 4.5 on 100 frontend briefs each

Three s — GPT-5.6 Sol, , and Grok 4.5 — were each given the same 100 frontend s, producing 300 websites in total. The briefs spanned unrelated categories like , deep tech, skincare, streetwear, and coffee. All results are published on a benchmark site called Sitegeist, where visitors can compare the three models' outputs on the same brief side by side, or browse a single model's work to spot recurring visual habits: typography choices, hero layout patterns, color palettes, geometric elements, information density, and overall composition.

The creator states this isn't meant to reduce design quality or originality to a single objective score; the value lies in the scale and consistency — the same 100 tasks given to three models, with all 300 outputs viewable rather than a handful of ed examples. The results can be browsed at sitegeist.kian.im.
